What should I do if a spider bite is found?

Spiders are representatives of the natural world, the attitude towards which most people are rather negative. Yes, someone is afraid of them, someone is disgusted when the spider is on the body and its paws move or tickle. But there are those who, on the contrary, love spiders and even collect their species, breeding entire families in their home. Some are for destroying packs, others are trying to protect them. After all, they are also the creatures of God. But today's speech will not be about destroying or leaving the spider family alone. Let's find out in more detail what the spider bite can lead to, what to do in case of attack of this animal.

Spiders are very important. If we destroy them, then the balance in nature will be violated. They, eating harmful insects, save the vegetation. For example, a spider eats a leaf roller, a springtail, a aphid, than it saves grape crops, fruit trees, and crops in the fields. In addition, these representatives of nature are food for birds. And the person will seriously suffer. Spider venom is widely used in medicine. Medicines prepared on the basis of it, save from many diseases.

If you are bitten by a spider, then you know, you can not leave the affected place without attention. Among spiders there are absolutely harmless representatives and deadly dangerous. In addition, they are considered predators. It's just that without reason, spiders usually do not attack. And they do not attack. If someone invades their territory, threatens, then they, like all living beings on our planet, are protected.

Not all representatives of spider families are poisonous and pose a threat to humans. However, living close to them for people is always dangerous. Yes, and not very pleasant. For many, the presence of a spider causes panic fear and horror.

Consider several species of these animals and discuss what to do if a spider bite on the body is detected.

Most often in the home of a man you can meet a hermit spider. To learn it will not be difficult. On his back a characteristic drawing is the outline of a violin. He dwells in dark premises: in basements, storerooms, garages. The hermit spider is active at night. The bite of it is not fatal for an adult, but very painful. On the affected area, redness first appears, accompanied by a slight burning and itching. After 6-8 hours a person feels pain on the site of the bite and detects a blister (as in a burn). After a while, the blister is replaced by a plague of impressive depth. In parallel, the general condition may worsen: the temperature increases, an allergic reaction, nausea. For babies, the bite of a hermit spider is more dangerous. A child's body can not cope with poison. In medicine, there are cases when children died from a portion of the poison of a hermit spider.

Unpleasant will be a meeting with this representative. The bite of a spider-cross also has serious consequences for a person. Especially terrible is the bite of a female, which is in the mating season or at the time of laying eggs. At a bite at once there is an insignificant burning and pricking. Half an hour later, when the poison starts to act, they mark a headache, a weak condition, an aching joint. In some ways, the symptoms are similar to the flu.
